Mansur “Manny” Zahir – is a San Francisco born California native, whose grandfather was a screen writer in Pakistan with multiple films from the black and white era… The art of film and acting are in my blood through generations and it shows in the diversity of roles I’ve played in my productions over the years. Mansur is an all American California boy, he is the host of a “Mansur Zahir Real Estate TV” on YouTube, over the years he has performed various roles on stage and on-camera such as playing an imam for Dominican University’s Nursing program in Marin, appearances in training videos/ads for Zip Realty and Coldwell Banker, and also filmed a commercial for a tech company called Bluescape recently which was televised on National Cable Television Networks (CNBC, CNN, and Fox.) He is currently auditioning for plays and theater roles in San Francisco and Los Angeles, he is always open to roles that challenge his abilities or are an opportunity to do something new! When he is not pursuing his passion for acting and performing he spends his free time writing poetry and recording as a hip-hop/rap artist. He loves escaping out to the mountains of Lake Tahoe with his Siberian Husky for hiking and snowboarding or escaping for some relaxation in the warm sunny beaches of San Diego.
